UMTED srArEs PATENT OFFICE.

A mansion mm FRANK mnnmm or Ncnwmn, NEW YORK.

Be it known that we,'A BERTSELL Inn- LmoandFmmr' L; Imnmnn, citizens of the United States, residing at Norwich, 1n the county of 'Gheaangoand State of New York, have lnvented certain Improvements in Sawing-Machines, of which the following descriptiomin'connection with the accompanying drawings, is a" specification, like referencechmctcrs on the drawings indicating like parts in the'several figures.

This invention relates to sawing-machines and pairtichlanly to sawing machines in which the saw neciprocates.

As herein shown the invention is applied to a. machine of the typeknown to the trade as drag. sawing machines, but it will be understood that the invention, in many of its aspects, is not limited to machinesof this ns of the'objects of the invention is to provide an improved sawing machine of the type above-referred to'which will be simple compactand durable in construction, rapid and eflicient in operation, and which can be manufactured and put upon the market at a cost which will make it generally available.

, Another object of the invention is to providea machine in which the operation of the various mechanisms may be so completely and easily controlled by the operator that danger of injury either to the operator or to the machine will be obviated. To this end means will preferably be provided which, when actuated by theoperator, will so automatically control the order of the operation of the various mechanisms' that noone of the mechanismscan interfere with the operaof another. I

More particularly the invention aims to provide an improved construction and arrangemnt, of the means for guiding and supporting the saw whereby easier and more convenient manipulation lot these parts will be permitted, and whereby, especially, more uniform and more effective operation of the saw is obtained.

In the illustrated preferred embodiment of the invention the means for guiding and supporting the saw is arranged to swing about an axis coinciding with the axis of notation of the crank wheel or other means for transforming rotary movement of the driving means into reciprocating movement of the saw. As herein shown the saw is sawmo-uacmrm.

Toall'whom it my concern: arranged to along an extended radius of the crank wheel from which it '3 operated. By this arm-n ement it will be seen that the angle at w ieh the power is appliedto the saw, or to the saw stem, will 'be the same for all elevations of the saw. In another aspect, therefore, the invention may be said to comprise improvements in sawing machines of this type.

Other ob" cts and features of the invention will be apparent from a consideration f the following description and claims in connection with accompanying drawings iii-Which V I Isis "a perspective view of a machine embodying the invention, parts being broken away to expose to view other parts which would otherwise be wholly or art-1y hidden; 2 is a detail of the saw iftiI-Lg and.. ra.tchet used to lock the saw in raised position; 4c is a section of the machine on the line of the'driving shaft; Fig. 5 is a broken detail perspective showing especially the means for controlling the order of actuation of the saw operating mechanism 6 is a detail of the hinge for the saw guide; Fig. 7 is a detail perspective of the clutch operating means.

The frame '2 of the machine, which may conveniently be formed of side and end pieoes,.preferably of wood, bolted together, is provided at or nc ar its corners with brackets like legs 4 which are constructed that they permit the convenient attachment of the machine, by bolts or similar means, to a suitable support, or to suitable supports,

to cross-pieces 6. k

' At one of the corners at its forward. end the frame 2 is provided with an upstanding 8, hereinafter referred to as the standard, which is located outside the sidepiece against which it bears and which has 'fonmedin it a vertical guideway 10 for the saw supporting and guiding frame.

As herein shown the guiding and supporting frame comprises upper and lower ide members 12 and 14, preferably of woo Joetwee-n which slides the saw stem lfi carrying the saw 18. At their forward ends the guide members 12 and ll are ndj'ustably spaced by spacing blocks attached to the opposite 811198 of the guide members by bolts passing mechanism; Fig. 3 is a detail of the pawl the machine being herein shown as attached and the Work feeding mechanism, and Fig.

as Y

through elongated openings in said members, the blocks 20 forming lateral guides for the saw stem. At their rear ends the guide members 12 and 14 are spaced by attachment to the expanded forward end of a hinge plate or casting 22, adjustment bein provided also at this endof each member y making the bolt holes in the casting somewhat elongated. The rear end of the saw stem 16 is guided and confined against lateral displacement by cross-pieces 24 attached to opposite sides of the saw stem by bolts passin through the cross-pieces'and through sai stem, said cross ieces overlapping the guide members 12 an 14. v

. The hinge plate 22 has a pivotal bearing concentric with the main shaft 26 u n the outer end of the bearing box 28 at said shaft. To confine the hm e plate 22 upon its bearing on the bearing x 28 a beveled lug 30 is provided on the underside of said hearing, which is received, when the parts are assembled, by an enlargement 32 in the opening 34 in the hinge plate, said enlargement 32, when the hinge plate is in operative position, being so angularly offset from its assembling position that during the 0 erative movementsof the hinge plate it oes not a sin come into register with the lug 30. he opening 34 is provided along the path of the relative movement of the lug 30 and the hinge plate 22 with a beveled countersink 36 to receive the lug', the lug thus serving both to confine the hinge plate upon its bearing and to guide it in its oscillating movement thereon.

-It will be noted that the hinge plate 22 is pivoted to swing between the side of the frame 2and a crank wheel 38 attached to the outer end of the main shaft 26, the guide -members 12 and 14 being attached 'to the outer face of the hinge plate so that the saw stem 16, gluidedbetw'een said members, is brought su stantially into the plane of the crank wheel and reciprocates along an extended radius of said wheel.

The crank wheel 38 is provided upon' one side of its center with a series of openings 40 at different radial distances from said center, to receive a'wrist pin 42 provided with a spacin block 44 into which the wrist pin is pre erably cast, the pin bein confined in the selected one of the series 0 openings b a nut 46 threaded upon one end thereof. Llovement of the wrist pin 42 from one to another of the series of openings 40 serves to ive different throws to a pltman 48 by which the rotary movement of the crank wheel '38 is transformed into reciprocatingmovement of the saw stem 16, said pitman receiving the wrlst pin 42 in a bearing in one end and receiving a second wrist pin 50,

carried by the saw stem 16, in a bearing in its other end. This construction allows the machine to be readily adapted to use saws "integral with said wheel. ..and the saw stem 16, as well as the "of different lengths. U the other side of its center the crank w eel 88 is rovided with a counterbalance 51,- prlpefera ly cast pitm'a'n 6 members 12 and 14, the spacing bl and the cross pieces 24, are preferably of wood, this material providing alight strong pitman and rmitting the use of a saw stem and gui es thereforhaving wide hearing surfaces. A construction is thereby securedjin which there is lightnes of the mciprocating parts, with the co uent freedom from vibration, and in whi uprightness of the 'saw is insured, this latter condition being obviously essential to sawing. Owm to the Ian machines 0 this type, ightness of the recipiocating parts is especially important.

xtendin'g along the up r and lower sides of the itman are s 52 upon the ends of whic are screwed nuts 54 tohold h of the stroke in securely the adjustable wooden bearing boxes 1 I with which the pitman is provided at its res ective ends. i

0 permit the log to be fed forward for the next cut or to allow a new log to belaced in position mechanism is providedv or lifting the saw guide and support preferably having provision for locking the saw in its raised position. The illustrated mechanism comprises a crank shaft 56 having thereon a pulley 58, in a transverse opening in which is wedged one end of a' strap or other suitable flexible means 60 connected at its other end to the guide member 12 within the guideway 10 of the standard 8.

The term. strap, as here and hereinafter used, should be understood in a generic sense.

A crank 62 is provided by which the. crank shaft may be turned to lift the saw supporting and guiding frame. When the machine is operating to make successive cuts in the same log, which will be fed forward by mechanism hereinafter to be described,

there will be no necessity for locking the saw in raised position as the o rator can hold the crank with one hand w ile he controls the feeding of the log and the starting and stop ing-of the saw with the other hand. owever when a. new log is to be )ltlced in position it is usually desirable to lock the saw in raised position and for this purpose the crank shaft 56 is provided with a ratchet 64 adapted to be engaged by a weighted pawl 66- which has an operative and an ino erative position. The pawl 66 is rovide with an L-shaped end serves to keep its other:

slot 68 in WlllCh is received the pivot 70; When the' I shaft 80 is provided with a squared socket bracket 88 is a gear wheel J6 arranged to and the crank wheel 38.-key|-d thereto, will inovable-connectingshaft 81 having another 86. At its rear end the shaft 86 has a bearthe pulley 112, said yoke having upon oppopivot that it will not operativelyengage. the ratchet wheel 64. l

The log to be operated upon is mounted upon a. truck 72, which may be of any suitable or usual construction, said truck haw l ing wheels 74 which travel upon track rails 76. The forward endof the log rests upon conical spur wheels 78 upon a short shaft 80 mounted in bearings carried by the rails 76. fAt the end nearer the frame 2 the 82 which receives the squared end of a resquarcd end which enters a similar squared socket in the forward end of the feed shaft ing in a swinging bracket 88 pivoted at one end upon a stationary bracket 90 attached to a side of the frame 2. The other end of the swinging bracket 88 is reduced and enters a cam slot 92 in a cam slide J1, the slot 92 being so shaped that longitudinal movement of the slide 9% serves to raise and lower this end of the swinging bracket 88.

Mounted upon the shaft 86 near the be brought into and out of mesh with a worm 98 formed upon a sleeve l0tlsurrou'nding the main shaft A flange 102 upon one end of the sleeve 100 entering a semicircular groove in adownward extension 104 of the bearing box keeps the sleeve from endwise movement on the shaft 20. At its other 'end the sleeve 100 is provided with jaws or projections 10* which engage corresponding projections upon a second sleeve 110 integral with the hub of the loose driving pulley 112. The pulley 112 is provided with friction blocks 111 constructed and arranged toengage the conical rim of a clutch pulley 116 keyed upon the shaft 213. The pulley 112, which is loose. upon the shaft 26, is normally rotated and causes to rotate with it the sleeve'lOO. hen the pulley 11-2 is moved toward the right in Fig. i to efl'ect the engagement of the blocks lit with the conical rim of the clutch pulley 1.16, as shown in this figure, the shaft "26 be rotated with the pulley 112.

" The means for moving the pulley 112 into and out of clutching relation to the pulley 116 comprises ayoke 118 having a semicir- :ular groove in which travels a flange 121) upon the sleeve portion 110 of the hub of site sides of the diameter of the shaft i pairs of cars 121 between which are received the ends 122 of a forked lever lJl fulrrunnd at 126 to turn about the same center as that about'which the bracket 8o swings. shoulder 128 upon each of the fork members of the lever 12 1 engages an ear of the yoke 118 and serves to support the yoke. ltigidly attached to the leverl2-l near the forward end of its fulcrum pin 126 is a spring operating arm 130. The free end of the spring arm 130 enters the cam slot 92 in the cam slide 94. The lower edge of the slide 94 rests upon a laterally extended upper edge 1320f the bracket 90, see Fig. 5. The upper edge of the slide 94 is guided between the side of the frame 2 and the downward exu tension 10& of the bearing box 28.

As shown in Fig. 5 the cam slot J2 in the cam slide 94 is'provided at its forward end with a horizontal rest 134: for the end of the springarin 130 and at its rear end with a horizontal rest 136 for the reduced end of the swinging bracket 88. Substantially midway between these ends is an extended low portion 138 with substantially equal inclines leading from the ends of the slot to the said intermediate low portion. The swinging bracket 88 and the spring arm 130 are so spaced apart that both may rest at the same timein the low portion 138 of the cam slot 92, or that. one may rest in its end of the slot while the other is in the low portion 138 and vice versa.

The ram slide is connrctcd by a rod H-(l I to a lever l-li fulcrlnncd at H4 upon the side of the frame \Vhen the ram slide has been moved by the'h-fver'lli into the position shown in Fig. 5, the pulley 1113 will be in line-position shown in Fig. 1, in which it is clutched through the clutch pulley ill) to the main shaft in. and the gear wheel 9U will be disengaged from the worm 118. in this position of the parts the saw will be reciprocated through its connections with the crank wheel 23S and the feed mechanism will be inoperative. [f the operator moves the slide .l-t toward theright in Fig. 5 until the end .of the spring arm 13!) and the end of the bracket 85 are both in the low portion 138 of the slot .12; the feed mechanism will be left in its inoperative condition and the saw operating mechanism will also be rendered inoperative. if. however. the .o 'n-ra'lor eontinuos to move the slide ill loward the right in l ig. 5,1he end of the swinging bracket HS will be raised into they end 131' of the slot U2,

thereby bringing the gear All into mrshwilh the worm 98 and starting the feed men-hanism. The end of the spring ar'm 130 will still be in the low part 138 of thee-am slot thereby maintaining the saw operating mechanism inoperative during the feeding operation. it will thus be seen that the feed nwclmnism and the saw operating llll't'lldllism can both be imiperalive at the same time but that neither can operate while the other is operating which insures against accidents bolh lo the machine and to the operator.

Means is provided by. which'lhe feeding mechanism can be operated by hand, this means being principally useful in moving the log back if it has been overfed by the power and in moving a log into position when the power is not connected. The illustrated means comprises a lever 146 fulcrumed upon the shaft 80 and carrying a pawl 148 which is arranged to engage a ratchet wheel 150 upon the said shaft, the pawl 148 being so constructed that it may be moved into position to engage and turn the ratchet wheel 150 and with it the shaft 80 in either direction.

te. locked in its raisbd positliii by the engagemcnt of the pawl (56 with the ratchet wheel ($4. The lever 146 having beeh turned down into its lowermost position, a log is rolled upon the truck 72 with its forward end resting upon the spur wheels 78. Let it be assumed that the log has been rolled into position for the first out. The pawl 66 is now moved into its inoperative position so that the saw will be free to follow its cut. The lever 142, which at this time is in its u )right or mid position,,in which position of the lever both the feed mechanism and the saw operating mechanism are inoperative, is now moved toward the, right in Fig. 1, which would be toward the left in Fig. 5, thus through the cam 92 in the cam slide 9-1- and the spring arm 130 of the forked. lever 122 moving the pulley 112 into clutching engagement with the clutch pulley 116 to start the saw operating mechanism. The spring arm l30 and the friction clutch t'ogelher afford means by which the saw ma be .started slowly and gently, if desire The log having been cut through, the lever 142 is again moved to mid position to stop the saw, the saw is lifted to permit the lo tp'be fed along and the lever is then move reward the left in Fig. 1, or toward the right in Fig. 5 to start the feed mechanism, the operator holding the saw in raised position at this time by means of the crank 62. The log having been fed, the lever 142 is again moved to its other extreme position, preferably by r a continuous movement, thereby causin the feed mechanism to be thrown out 0 operation and the saw operating mechanism to be thrown into operation.

It will be noted that the means for rendering the feed mechanism and the saw operating mechanism operative and inoperative comprises two levers, the forked lever 122, having the spring arni 130, and the swinging bracket 88, controlled by a single cam which is so constructed andarranged that the said two mechanisms cannot be operative at the same time, but that either may be operative while the other is inoperative and that both may be inoperative at once.

Furthermore by a single movement of the lever 142 from one of its extreme positions to the other there will be a chan from a condition in which one of the mec anisms is operative and the other inoperative to one in which both are inoperative and then to one in which the relative conditions of op erativeness and inoperativeness are reversed.

Endwise movement of the shaft 26 when the pulley 112 is moved in the direction to. bring the friction blocks 114 into clutching engagement with the clutch pulley 116 is prevented by a. rib 152 in the shaft 153 which enters a groove 154 in the shaft 26.
